In 1896, the Democratic Party moved away from its urban northeastern Irish-American base to attempt to forge an alliance of the developing Jim Crow “Solid South” with the PopulistWest. The Midwest had seen the nation‘s worst labor strife in the years between the 1892 and 1896 elections,[4] and the Republican Party saw Bryan as attempting to ferment class war.[4] Although Ohio had been affected severely by the farm crisis of the early 1890s, its strong coverage by rail transport made this much less of a problem than it was in the more remote Plains States.[5]
